I was just wondering if it would be possible or in other words a good idea to modify a Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist stock. What I would like to do is to cut down part of the beaver tail forend. Just make it more rounded like the HS varmit tactical forends that come on the 700P rifles, but still have the vertical grip. Just wondering if anyone has ever done it before, and if so how easy would it be to do it?
 
Re: Newbie quesiton about stocks

I shaved mine down and them filled with bondo. Be careful and go slow, once you get past the shell the foam shaves very quickly. It is still stable and strong. give it a try and you will be surprised what you can do.
